So I am kinda proud of this chapter, though I think I didn't respect Tywin's decisions... I think the actual Tywin would have refuse Mace, but, I needed a pretext to get Sansa out of King's Landing so... Here we go! Chapter 3 :P

Margaery ~

The Throne Room was overcrowded and what the Warden of the South had just said had soothed the recent hubbub.

"Betrothed to Willas Tyrell? You can't! Sansa Stark shall stay here in King's Landing, for she is my hostage."

Mace Tyrell ignored the Queen Regent's comment and addressed to Lord Tywin once more.

"My lord, now that Sansa is not betrothed to King Joffrey anymore, I thought wise to betroth her to my son."

The Hand of the King shut up for a moment, giving no hint of what he was thinking and then spoke. "Indeed my lord, that marriage could win Sansa's heart, for your son is much more charming than mine. Although it would have been better to keep her near us in King's Landing, this marriage would increase our chances of an alliance with the Starks and the Tullys. Once she know her daughter is to be Lady of Highgarden, I have no doubt Lady Catelyn would convince her son to bend the knee. They cannot afford having the Tyrells for enemies. They already fear Stannis and the Greyjoys hold the North. Lysa Arryn will take no part in this war, she is too fearful. Their only chance was to win the Tyrells, and according to Ser Loras, Lady Catelyn tried to come to a peace with Highgarden through Renly. Now that he's dead, the have no more hope of victory. Her daughter's marriage will probably reassure her."

"So, does my lord Hand give me his leave to wed my Willas to Sansa?"

Lord Tywin did not look pleased by this marriage. He cannot refuse us, Margaery thought, he cannot afford having us for enemies either. She gazed at Cersei, who was fuming in rage. Margaery smiled successfully and drew her eyes back on the Hand.

"Sansa shall wed Willas." he answered in a strong voice. The Throne Room started to go crazy when Lord Mace cleared his throat loudly, causing the noise to stop.

"My lord Hand, the wedding is already planned, so I ask for your leave to return temporarily to Highgarden to attend my son's wedding." He turned his head to his daughter and gave her a small nod. Margaery addressed directly to Joffrey, who was growing bored on the Iron Throne.

"Your Grace, I shall ask for you leave to return briefly to Highgarden with my father and my brother Garlan to see my brother one last time before I become your Queen and stay here for good. I shall also say goodbye to Sansa, who became a close friend of mine, and attend her wedding. Of course I will come back to you as soon as the wedding is over." She smiled at Joffrey and hoped he would be as wise as his grandfather by not refusing her demand.

"I agree, you can come back to Hihgharden, but you better come back, or I'll have your head on a spike for treason."

"Your Grace!" Tywin shouted. "You shall speak better to your future queen and wife" he said, bowing to Margaery. Joffrey muttered under his breath and kept quite.

She chose to pretend Joffrey had been courteous and bowed. "Thank you Your Grace, I will miss you during my journey to Highgarden."

Then Lord Tywin declared the session over. As the Throne Room emptied, Margaery came to her father. "Thank you father" she whispered.

"I did not do this for your friend, I did this because she is a very interesting match." he said gritting his teeth.

"But I suggested you to marry them, you wouldn't refuse anything to your future queen, would you?" she teased.

"Easy child, I am still your father. And do not think I will do anything you ask, this time, it was profitable to me." he growled before leaving his daughter in the Throne Room.

She noticed Cersei near the small council table talking to Grand Maester Pycelle. When the Queen Regent gazed down at her, the fake gentle expression she always feigned had disappeared. In its stead was a mean and evil stare. She feels threatened, Margaery thought, she fears me. And she'd better fear her, because in less than a month, Margaery was going to be Queen in her stead.

Soooooo, how was it? Not so bad I hope! Please review! :D
